Holy Shit!
…is exactly what I said when I heard this announcement for the second edition of Nevereverland, the festival last year headlined by Daft Punk. When I heard the festival was coming back again I was kind of surprised. Surely you can’t beat Daft Punk, why do it again? Even though this festival isn’t quite Daft [...]
Big Day Out First Announcement
With half of Melbourne still getting over the gurn fest that was Parklife, and the rest of the country still to experience that particular brand of ecstasy, the first Big Day Out lineup has just been announced. And it’s a really mixed bag. Neil Young The Prodigy Arctic Monkeys My Morning Jacket Pendulum Bullet For [...]
Fromage Disco Edits
Fromage is a collective of Melbourne musicians and DJ’s who were into disco the first time round and never got over it. They were into disco when it was cool to be into disco and they were still into it when it was very uncool to be into disco. Now things have come full circle [...]

Aeroplane Have Landed
Sorry for the headline but I had to do it – Stephan just got into Melbourne and I couldn’t help myself. If you’re into the cosmic disco sounds of Aeroplane then you won’t want to miss the show at La Di Da this Friday night. We will be rolling deep to show Ghent how it’s [...]
Free Shit Friday
So Free Shit Friday is becoming a regular thing because people want free shit regularly. When I say “regular” I actually mean once a month because it’s hard enough keeping up with the post as it is. I am actually really stoked about this Free Shit Friday because we are lucky enought to be giving [...]
BMX
These BMX cats hail out of Brisbane and make music that you could sit out in the sun all day and listen too. It’s fun, it’s raw and so popfresh I smile every time I listen to it. Turning heads these peeps will be pulling dirty mono’s (LIVE) at the Van She Lickit Party in [...]
Parklife 2008 Festival
The dates and lineup for this years Parklife festival have just been announced and it looks fantastic. Probably the best Australian festival lineup that I have seen for a long time and perhaps a good reason for me to start liking festivals again. Goldfrapp Soulwax Peaches 2manydjs Dizzee Rascal Martin Solveig Plump DJs Diplo Jesse [...]
G.L.O.V.E.S. On Bang Gang 12 Inches
We wrote about GLOVES way back in September last year about his remix of Gameboy/Gamegirl’s “Sweaty” and a lot has happened since then. Firstly he put out a white label 12″ of Dead Skin through European label Lektroluv and just recently has been signed to Thee Bang Gang Deejays label for a release of “PYX”. [...]
Sam Sparro Australian Tour
I first heard of Sam Sparro through Russ Chimes’ remix of “Black and Gold” and now he is coming to Australia for shows in Sydney and Melbourne. On Russ’ recent tour of Australia he talked about working with Sam Sparro and how he was at one stage going to be a part of the live [...]
FUTURECOP TOUR
Futurecop began life as it seems a lot of good musical artists do, making music to please themselves with no pre cursors or attempt to fit in with the norm. Futurecop make music that could quite easily be placed as scores in movies, defining moments, victorious battles and epic car chases just some ideas off [...]
Outlaws
I have to admit that apart from being on Modulars DJ roster I didn’t know a great deal about the Outlaws until a little while ago. For some reason I just assumed they were some kids who played a bunch of parties in Sydney. They’re not. Then I got the impression they only played minimal [...]
VHS Or BETA – Free!
I got a text last night from supreme DJ Fierce Brosnan about a couple of free passes to VHS Or BETA and had to go. Turns out you don’t need to pay even half of the ticket price! I got in a little late and caught the last couple of tracks of Yves Klein Blue. [...]
It’s Like You’re Talking In French
While the title and lyrics of this great Young Lovers track suggest a breakdown in communication I find the idea of someone talking to me in French really hot. It’s not so much the language actually, it could be almost anything really – just the idea of someone chatting me up in a foreign language [...]
